PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elemental Technologies, the leading supplier of software-defined
video solutions for multiscreen content delivery, today announced
that it is named as a technology enabler to the BBC and Turner Sports,
both of whom were designated finalists for the IBC 2014 Innovation
Awards shortlist issued this week. Elemental video processing is
powering both the NBA League Pass streaming subscription service from
Turner Sports and the Media Factory cloud transcoding service at the
heart of the BBC iPlayer catch-up and video-on-demand service.

The NBA League Pass is a subscription service innovated by Turner Sports
that delivers any basketball game over broadband to any subscriber on
any platform: Apple, Android, desktop, games consoles, Roku and more.
Turner Sports now has a platform that can deliver every NBA game over
broadband to any subscriber. This translates to as many as 30 games a
night or more than 800 live streams.

Regarded worldwide as the most successful online service from a
broadcaster, the BBC iPlayer delivers content to more than seven million
users a day on four screens and over 1,000 devices. In 2013, BBC Future
Media created a powerful, flexible and secure cloud transcoding service
that ensures audiences have more content in better quality, available
faster and more reliably.

“The IBC Innovation awards uniquely showcase real-world applications
with tangible benefits to end-users,” said Keith Wymbs, chief marketing
officer at Elemental. “We are honored to be named amongst the
technologies that support two highly regarded and successful multiscreen
offerings and that serve customers through innovation.”

Award winners will be announced at a ceremony to be held on September 14
during IBC 2014 in Amsterdam.

At this year’s IBC show (Sept. 11-16 in Amsterdam), Elemental will
demonstrate its software-defined video processing platform for content
delivery to any device in Hall 4 on stand 4.B75 at the RAI Conference
Centre. Software solutions from Elemental give pay TV operators, content
programmers, broadcasters and enterprise customers the ability to
implement flexible and scalable video architectures for both traditional
broadcast and multiscreen service offerings.
